The honors keep on coming for Devin Mann.

The 2015 Columbus North graduate has been named Uncle Ray’s Minor League Player of the Month for the California League. The award is given to a player in each of the 10 minor leagues.

Mann led the California League with 10 home runs and 63 total bases in June. The Rancho Cucamonga third baseman also finished second in the league in slugging percentage (.656), RBIs (21) and was third in OPS (1.017) for the month. He had nine multi-hit games, including four in a row from June 20-23.

That followed a stretch in May where Mann, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ fifth-round pick out of Louisville in last year’s draft, was named California League Player of the Week.

Mann picked up in July where he left off in June. On Monday, he had three hits, including a double, and had an RBI and a run scored in a 7-5 win against the Lake Elsinore Storm 7-5. Wednesday, he had an RBI-single in a 3-2 win against Lake Elsinore.

For the season, Mann is batting .283 with 17 home runs, 55 RBIs and 48 runs scored.
